In general they don't want you to see the popular posts!
typical Yamaha controls it all... this is absurd! they don't allow a community of any kind, prevent other forums from developing and than they say "OK, let's remove viewcount... username visability... replycount.." they will never know which posts are popular and why.. we will not be held accountable.
and then - deleting my posts. what a shame. Yamaha.
Your OTHER POSTS on site feedback are in the "Site Feedback" area ... this is where you can get information on how the site works. We’ll leave this here for ten minutes then it will be moved to the “Site Feedback” forum.

Hire Experts. When You do not have the proper staff! It is way cheaper in the long run!
Yes, it'd be nice to pilot changes behind the curtain - but there is a silver lining. We get to see each minute change and comment/feedback on the changes as they "drop in" which gives advance feedback if there's anything that's a step backwards. Also as a developer, I would not have made my rolling changes so public - but just grin and bear the process until it's over. I doubt a forum post is going to structurally change the forum development plan (as in who's getting tasked to do it and what process is used) in the short-term. It's a learning process and hopefully the next roll-out is better. That said - there will always be something for users to complain about when changes are made.
